How can we use business principles I learned at Harvard to improve our mentoring and increase our impact?
I go over how to use Lewin's Force-field Analysis as mentors in the Global Impact Council.
Mentors can use this to encourage mentees to take action that will create change, and might help everyone to clarify first steps.

Is an A in a regular class, or a B in an honors/AP class more valuable for me?

How do I decide how many APs to take?

How do I schedule my classes in order to be as competitive as possible for college?

Which high school should I attend?

These are a few of the questions that should be straightforward, but end up being quick difficult to decide, because there are different colleges, and what is a good strategy at one college would be a bad strategy at another college.
Also, teens are different, and what would be a great strategy for one, would be a bad strategy for another.

So how do we know what to do?

I go over the context and background information you need in order to make the right choice for you.
